My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious-Chapter 758 - 676: No Need to Say Thank You
"I helped you simply because I wanted to help, never expecting anything in return. Agreeing to have dinner with you tonight was just to avoid making you overthink. I have received your sentiments. However, if anyone dares to smear or slander you again, I won’t let it go. Do you understand what I mean?"
Meng Yan’s expression was so spot-on, his whole aura so imposing, that it directly stunned Hua Tiantian into silence. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
She had never dared to think about this matter, nor wanted to think about how it related to her. If it weren’t for her suspicions about Huang Shan, and the impression from Meng Yan’s words that Huang Shan was behind it, she wouldn’t have considered giving up. So, she responded deliberately, "Meng Yan, thank you. You’ve already helped me a lot. I just want to quietly finish filming this project."
"Alright, since you’ve made your decision, I respect it."
Meng Yan’s gaze lingered on Hua Tiantian briefly, carrying a trace of wistfulness, before he let his hands drop.
"Meng Yan, thank you."
Hua Tiantian didn’t pay attention to his expression, instead pretending to be relaxed. She shrugged and quickened her pace.
Li Li woke up feeling a sharp pain at his temples, his mind still able to recall the events of last night. He hadn’t expected to get drunk so quickly. Based on his normal tolerance, a bottle of alcohol shouldn’t have knocked him out, yet this time he was completely drunk after finishing the bottle.
As he rubbed his head, he noticed someone sleeping next to him. Once he got a good look at her face, he suddenly recalled the chaos of the previous night. It dawned on him that he had mistaken Huang Shan for Qin Miaomiao. In his drunken stupor, he had no idea who had been beside him the entire night.
"Huang Shan, I didn’t think you’d actually succeed."
Regret hit him like a truck. Li Li immediately began to berate himself, thinking he shouldn’t have been drinking in her presence last night. Who knew if the alcohol had been spiked with some kind of sedative?
He flung the covers aside and walked into the bathroom, slamming the door out of irritation. Turning on the shower, he diligently scrubbed at the lingering sensations on his skin only to unexpectedly find a red mark on his chest.
"Heh, Huang Shan’s guts are getting bigger and bigger."
Li Li deeply regretted the night he spent with Huang Shan and was thoroughly annoyed, furiously trying to scrub away the red mark on his chest. He remembered feeling frustrated last night, ultimately letting loose under the influence of alcohol, which led to the bed-sharing encounter with Huang Shan.
When he woke up, the man beside her was already gone.
Huang Shan nervously stared at the empty bedding, her hand resting on the sheet that still held traces of warmth.
She scanned the room, eventually hearing the sound of rushing water from the bathroom. Relieved, she exhaled deeply, "So he didn’t leave."
Worry gripped her as she fretted over Li Li possibly leaving without a word. After thinking carefully, she realized the situation might be even more complicated than she had imagined. She didn’t know what to say to explain last night’s events when he came out.
Her gaze fell on the phone on the bedside table, capturing her attention. She glanced stealthily at the bathroom, curious about who the "Miaomiao" that Li Li had called out last night might be. She hesitated before cautiously picking up his phone.
"There’s a password."
Having no clue about the password, Huang Shan tried a few attempts only to fail. She reluctantly gave up, intending to return the phone to its original spot when a message popped up on the screen.
"Mr. Li, have you had time to consider what I told you about yesterday?"
The sudden appearance of the message startled Huang Shan. Although it seemed harmless, another message soon followed, throwing her completely into a panic after reading it.
"I heard Mr. Li has an unusual relationship with Miss H. Let’s discuss the specifics when we meet."
